I have two love languages: TRADE and FASHION. So, imagine how delighted I was to be quoted in Vogue Business, talking about both! I started my career in fashion, working in customs compliance at Nordstrom. Shifts in trade policy don’t just impact balance sheets—they reshape sourcing strategies, supply chains, and even the creative process behind what ends up on the rack. This latest wave of tariffs is forcing brands to rethink everything. The difference today? We have tools and technology that would have seemed like science fiction just a few years ago. AI gives companies the ability to anticipate and adapt rather than scramble to react. I didn’t have access to that 20 years ago...but often wonder where I’d be if I did. Modern trade compliance isn’t only about regulations—it’s about keeping global commerce moving, supporting innovation, and fortifying businesses against global uncertainty. It’s why I love this work. In today’s volatile trade environment, trade intelligence can’t be the last checkpoint before goods cross borders—it needs to be embedded at every stage of the product lifecycle. The companies that embrace this shift will be the ones that thrive in the next era of global trade.

“We’ve never met a customs broker with a spare minute.” We show this slide all the time when talking to customs brokers, and honestly, I don’t think it’s ever been more true. If you’ve been keeping up with U.S. trade policy in 2025, you know it’s been a rollercoaster: 1️⃣ 25% tariffs announced on Canada & Mexico—then both got a 30-day stay (for now). 2️⃣ New 10% tariff on virtually all Chinese imports, then exemptions floated… then walked back. 3️⃣ Steel and aluminum tariffs expanded, covering more downstream products. 4️⃣ De minimis for China suspended, then delayed while enforcement plans are "re-evaluated." No wonder customs brokers are buried in work. But here’s the thing: I’ve seen firsthand the creativity and depth of knowledge that customs professionals bring to their clients—it’s inspiring. That’s exactly where technology comes in - as your sidekick. The right solutions can assist you in classifying goods faster, flagging forced labour risks, simulating tariff impacts and keeping product catalogs audit-ready. Customs brokers can focus their precious time on high-value, expert work to support their customers. Technology isn’t here to replace customs expertise — it’s here to amplify it. We're less than two months into 2025; there has never been a better time to make it work for you. Leave a comment or shoot me a message to find out more.

U.S. automakers may be more exposed to President Donald Trump’s new 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports than they realize. Our analysis reveals that tariff exposure to aluminum is buried deep within companies’ multi-tier supply chains—98% of exposure comes from Tier 2 or deeper, including significant numbers of Chinese suppliers. Without deep visibility into product-level value chains, automakers risk significant financial and operational disruptions. Our Tariff Scenario Planner uncovers these hidden dependencies, helping enterprises quantify risk, adjust sourcing strategies, and build more resilient supply chains. ➡️ Read the full analysis and see how our new Tariff Scenario Planner helps businesses navigate trade volatility with precision and speed: https://lnkd.in/gJNXRtmV
